12 April 2012
An Old Bailey jury today w atched the first public showing of the bid to stage "the world's biggest robbery".
A video of the attempt to steal £200 million of diamonds from the Millennium Dome w as beamed on to a big screen on the judge's bench.
It showed an earthmover smashing its way into the Dome and two robbers, wearing gas masks and body armour, leaping from it and attacking the diamond vault with a sledgehammer and nail gun.
The court heard that detectives had trailed and videoed the gang for months.
Six men deny plotting last N ovember's attempted raid.
The case continues.
